On September 27, news broke that another former NBA player has become an owner of an NBA team.
The Milwaukee Bucks officially announced earlier that NBA veteran Junior Bridgeman has purchased a 10% stake in the Bucks, making him one of the team’s owners. When asked why he wanted to become a team owner, Bridgeman said, “For me, it’s an opportunity to be part of the team’s future – not just in spirit but also physically. It makes perfect sense to seize this chance.”
The 71-year-old Bridgeman played for the Bucks from 1975 to 1984 and again from 1986 to 1987. During his tenure, his field goals made (4,142) ranked seventh in franchise history, points scored (9,892) ranked ninth, and minutes played (18,054) ranked tenth. His 711 games played with the Bucks rank third in franchise history, behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Chris Middleton. In 1988, the Bucks retired his No. 2 jersey.
After his playing career with the Bucks, Bridgeman ventured into restaurant investments and eventually became the owner and CEO of Bridgeman Foods. By 2016, the company operated over 450 Wendy’s and Chili’s restaurants across 20 states, amassing him a fortune of $600 million.
